  • Tuesday — 78 events
  • Wednesday — 77 events
  • Thursday — 88 events
  • Friday — 103 events
  • Saturday — 113 events

What a night out costs

Most Dublin listings in our index don't publish a price range up front, so entry is set on the ticket page or at the door. Open any event below to see what the seller is currently asking.

Planning the night

  • Start times below are the venue's own local time, not yours — worth checking if you're travelling in.
  • Age policy, door times and ID requirements are set by the venue and aren't in our feed. The seller's event page carries them.
  • Line-ups change. For multi-act bills, the running order is usually announced close to the date.
  • What's on tonight in Dublin and this weekend are the fastest ways in if you're deciding now.
